Re: [Dovecot] Webmail app ... again.

I've heard that imapproxy isn't all that useful with Dovecot once auth cache is enabled and set large enough. It'll then just basically replace Dovecot's process fork(s) with the overhead of its own.

If I understand Dovecot's auth caching, it will save DB lookups (or sequential passwd-file lookups, etc), but it will still need to spawn a new imap process for each connection the webmail does.

With imapproxy, the process will be kept running for a couple minutes after the webmail disconnects that connection and will be reused if a new request is made in sequence.
